Da Wei Chun

Chapter 545 The Book Reads Into the Dog's Belly
It's almost dusk, and the sunset is like fire.

The south bank of the Wei River was full of corpses.Stumped limbs, broken arms, and all kinds of odds and ends are everywhere.Countless mosquitoes and flies are flying around and buzzing, which is very annoying.

The blood soaked the mud, merged into a stream, and then accumulated into puddles of blood.The air was filled with a disgusting stench, and even the evening wind blowing from the mountains smelled of blood.

From the fifth shift when Li Zhang and Yuan Li were dispatched to respond, until Diaozheng broke through Chencang and the southern army surrendered, the battle lasted for seven hours.

And the two sides participated in the battle with more than [-] troops, but they were crowded in this narrow area with a radius of less than ten miles, and they fought each other for a whole day?
Can you see how dire the battle is?

Li Shao and others surrounded Li Chengzhi across the floating bridge and set foot on the south bank.Since Diaozheng, the ten or so generals of Xiying stood neatly on the shore.

This big victory should be a consolation.Li Chengzhi was about to boast, but before he even opened his mouth, he saw more than a dozen generals kneeling down like a mountain collapsing: "Please forgive me, Commander!"

They were all dry men with knives and guns, and none of them had a low voice. Li Chengzhi's ears were numb from the shock, and he was even more confused.

"What are you all guilty of?"

Diao Zheng clasped his fists, lowered his head and replied: "Before the battle, the commander once said: The wolf in Nanliang is ambitious, and the heart of the Great Wei will not die, so he can't let the tiger go back to the mountain... But in this battle, because the generals are negligent, they can't do it all. Gong... there are still more than [-] island barbarians who have entered the mountains, and they can't catch up..."

Li Chengzhi had a weird face.

He said that he could not let the tiger go back to the mountain, but he was talking about Chang Yizhi, not ordinary soldiers.

Rabbits will bite people when they are in a hurry, let alone a living person?
Therefore, if there is a battle to the death, the enemy must be injured by one thousand, and oneself will be injured by eight hundred.So Li Chengzhi never asked for the extermination of the southern army.

Wouldn't it be better to take more prisoners and stay in Guanzhong to help farm the land?
With a thought in his mind, Li Chengzhi asked leisurely, "How many times will you kill the enemy in this battle?"

"Only more than [-], and nearly [-] enemies were captured. The rest fell into the Wei River in the scuffle and disappeared..."

More than [-], or "only"?
"How much has our army lost?"

Diao Zheng lowered his head even lower: "More than [-] people were killed in battle, five or six thousand were injured, totaling nearly [-]..."

Li Chengzhi's face suddenly collapsed.

The West Camp was full of [-] soldiers, but [-]% of them were lost?

If we only look at the casualties on both sides, Changyi's army strength is more than twice that of Diaozheng's. Such a battle result is indeed a great victory.

But don't forget that the southern army has become a trapped beast and its morale has been lost.In addition, there are more than ten thousand infantrymen of Yuanli, and more than ten thousand armor riders of Fuluo who suddenly turned back at dawn...

Therefore, Li Chengzhi predicted that this battle should be won easily.As for the [-] soldiers in the West Camp, tens of thousands of casualties would be enough.

But now, it was twice as much as he expected?
He didn't even need to ask, he could guess where the problem was: as soon as Fang crossed the river, Tiao Zheng first seized both ends of the river beach, and then surrounded the Southern Army in the middle.

There is the Qinling Mountains in the south and the Wei River in the north, and the two ends are surrounded by enemy troops.But the Chen Cang Valley Road is so wide, even if you escape, how much can you escape?

The only way for the Southern Army is to fight to the death...

No wonder there were thousands of enemy soldiers who just fell into the water, and no wonder this battle lasted for a whole day?
He obviously didn't intend to kill them all, and the phrase "can't let the tiger go back to the mountain" was just a casual talk, and he had never issued such a military order to Diao Zheng on a formal occasion, so how could he be wrong?
Just as I was guessing, I realized that my sleeves were tight.Li Chengzhi glanced sideways, but it was Li Shao.

"After last night's discussion, General Diao once asked me when he was dispatching troops and generals: How should we deploy our formations for today's battle. I said: Anyone who violates our Wei territory should be a bandit. If one more person is killed today, it will be destroyed in the future." It will save the people of our dynasty from suffering a little bit of harm... Therefore, if Shao leads the army, he will set up a "mountain" formation: attack on one side, encircle on two sides..."

Although Li Shao's voice was not loud, he was eloquent, and more importantly, not only did he not feel that he had made a mistake in his eyes, but there was a flash of vigor and coldness in his eyes.

This is clearly to warn him...

Li Chengzhi couldn't help thinking of what Li Shao said in the Yuwang Tower in the morning: you must know how to hide your strength and bide your time, so as not to be suspicious of the court...

Nearly 20 enemies have been defeated, and even the famous enemy general Changyi has been awarded the head. If Li Chengzhi's subordinates only lost thousands, how can the princes in the court be allowed to sleep?
Li Shao clearly sent these [-] soldiers to die on purpose...

This plan was cruel and poisonous, Li Chengzhi gritted his teeth in hatred, but couldn't get angry?

It's also his own fault that he didn't tell Li Shao earlier: Those who should not be able to fall asleep have already been unable to sleep...

It was like eating a fly, feeling unspeakably disgusting in his heart, but he still had to squeeze out a smile: "Such a big victory, what is your fault? Hurry up, please..."

All the generals get together one by one.Li Chengzhi's eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one.He wanted to praise him, but he was not interested because of this incident.

"Let's go to the big battle, there are many things to do, and you still need your encouragement, so Duo Dudu and Li Sima, let's all go away!"

All the generals agreed with a loud bang, and then went their separate ways.Only the governors and Sima of the left and right battalions accompanied Li Chengzhi to Guancheng.

Since Li Rui led the guards to clear the way, a group of people stepped into the city gate in a mighty manner.

It should have been cleaned specially, although there are still bloodstains everywhere, and the scorched walls smoked by the fire, but the county office is extremely clean.As soon as Fang entered the Yayuan, he could smell the scent of incense candles.

From this alone, we can see the awe that Diao Zheng and his subordinates have towards Li Chengzhi.

Just as he was about to step into the yamen hall, Li Chengzhi paused suddenly: "It is said in the good news that Chang Yizhi has been executed, where is the corpse?"

"It's in the side room!"

Diao Zheng took two quick steps to lead the way, and argued anxiously: "The general who summoned him should be damned, how dare he add fuel to the picture? Please forgive me, Commander. Chang Yizhi didn't die in battle, but died of panic and panic... "

Scared to death... how is it possible?
Changyi's world-renowned general, after many battles, he could die in any way, but he would not be scared to death.

After guessing, Li Chengzhi stepped up the steps.

Some of Diao Zheng's relatives had pushed open the door, and at first glance, there were dozens of soldiers kneeling in the room.

All the soldiers greeted in unison, Li Chengzhi nodded slightly, thinking that Diao Zheng was a little too careful, it was just a dead body, and it was like a treasure?
But when the soldier stood up and moved to the sides, he saw: besides a dead body, there were actually two living people?

The older man is in his twilight years, and the other is only in his thirties.Both of them were tied up and fell to the ground.

On the other side, there was a low couch, on which lay an old man with gray hair.

Chang Yizhi?
Li Chengzhi stepped inside and saw blood stains on the beard of the corpse, and was a little suspicious: I thought it was a sudden cerebral congestion, but now it looks like a serious illness, a sudden onset?

Since ancient times, beauties and famous generals are not allowed to see gray hair in the world.

For Chang Yizhi to die on the bed, to have a whole body, instead of being decapitated, it can be considered a good death...

After a few glances, he turned his attention to the two living people: "Who are these two?"

There was a sharp pause, while Li Daoyuan was full of surprise. Both of them stared at Li Chengzhi without blinking.

what for?

Could it be that I was born to recognize these two?
Just as he was slandering secretly, it was as if a ray of light had flashed across Li Chengzhi's heart: Pei Sui, Cheng Jingjun?

If it weren't for these two people, how could Diao Zheng and Li Daoyuan have such surprised expressions?
They will not be locked up with Chang Yizhi's body, stuffed with rags, and guarded by heavy soldiers.

It seems that when they were captured alive, Diao Zheng and the others had already learned from Pei Sui and Cheng Jingjun how horrified Chang Yizhi retreated overnight.That's why I'm so cautious, for fear of committing my own taboo...

He sighed secretly: Seeing how cautious these two people are, you can tell that when the news of the "unpredictable prophet" spreads back to Luoyang, there will be many more people who are too horrified to fall asleep...

Li Chengzhi was filled with emotion, and the generals did not dare to disturb him.But Pei Sui and Cheng Jingjun's eyes opened wider and wider, as if seeing a ghost.

The rest of them didn't recognize each other, but when the city was broken and captured, Diao Zheng and Li Daoyuan had seen each other and passed their names.

Seeing that both of them are respectful to this young general, how can they not guess who it is.

The phoenix looks like a dragon, and its abundance is like jade. It should be only two years old, but it happens that the flowers are born early?

Pei Sui used all his strength to struggle frantically.Seeing that no one paid attention to him, he swung his head like a hammer, hitting the rocky ground with a "dong dong" sound.

With just three or two slaps, Pei Sui's face was already bleeding.Li Chengzhi said in a deep voice: "Take out what is in his mouth and see what he wants to do!"

"Li Chengzhi?"

"It's Li!"

Even though he was [-]% sure, when he heard Li Chengzhi's confession, Pei Sui still trembled all over, and his bloodshot eyes became even redder, like rabbit eyes: "Pei refuses to accept it!"

Haha... Li Chengzhi almost laughed out loud.

Pei Sui at this time, how similar is he to the gangster who clamored for a one-on-one fight after losing in a group fight?

"Why do you need to obey?"

Li Chengzhi smiled softly, "When the two armies confront each other, you will die or I will die, so each will use his own means. Now Li only knows that I win and you lose, and the rest is nothing!"

"That's right... the victor prospers, the loser perishes... the victor prospers, the loser perishes..."

Pei Sui repeated this sentence repeatedly, with tears in his eyes and blood rolling down, "Now you prosper and I perish... and if there is no Pei and Chang County Marquis, An Neng will make Li Zi famous, and this will not be the case." The merits of the world? Therefore, I have nothing else to ask for... Li Chengzhi, if you are righteous, you will give the county marquis a generous burial..."

As if hearing a big joke, Li Chengzhi was a little dazed.

He couldn't figure out what kind of brain circuit Pei Sui had to come up with such a logic?
He was about to scold him, but Yang Jun went crazy, and nodded his head approvingly: "A gentleman values ​​a gentleman, and a hero cherishes a hero. It's a beautiful story..."

"fart!"

Li Chengzhi roared violently, pointed and scolded, "I read the book in the stomach of a dog!"

Although Li Chengzhi's reputation is not good, it is relatively speaking.Most of these enemies, such as Yuan Ji, Hou Gang, and Anding Hu, who have been offended by him to the core, intentionally spread rumors, saying that he is cunning, treacherous, capricious, and disowned by his relatives.

As for those who are close, Li Chengzhi has always been polite and respectful.And it was the first time that he pointed at his best friend's nose and yelled at him without saving any face.

So Yang Jun was stunned, he even forgot to get angry.

"Pei Sui, in vain you became famous as a young man, and even became a famous general in Nanliang. How could you be a person who can't distinguish between right and wrong?"

Li Chengzhi turned around abruptly, pointing to the bloodstains on the wall of the yamen: "If you hadn't raised your troops to attack, how could the lives of my people in Guanzhong be devastated, and the people would not be able to live? How could I have tens of thousands of sons spill their blood on Chencang and sleep here forever?

I regard you as the enemy of the nine generations. You have not broken Changyi's corpse into thousands of pieces, and you have exhausted your benevolence, but you are talking about 'righteousness' to me?Just like I forced my way into your Pei residence, killed your parents, and raped your wife and daughter, would it be possible for you, Pei Sui, to thank me? "

"Gibberish, unreasonable words! Guanzhong is originally my Han land, and the county marquis and I are here only to restore our Han unification and save our Han people from suffering. How can we say that we violated the border?"

Pei Sui scolded in a cold voice, "On the contrary, you, Li Chengzhi, who is a descendant of the Han Dynasty, counts on his ancestors, recognizes a thief as his father, and is willing to be a Hu Yi eagle dog. You really have no sense of shame, and you are not a son of man..."

I am not an uncle for you?
"You and Chang Yizhi, and the Southern Emperor Xiao Yan know shame, but why are you willing to work together with the Hu thieves to harm the people of my Han family?"

Li Chengzhi sneered and said, "A group of rebellious officials and thieves who only know how to commit crimes dare to call the Han family orthodox, and dare to talk about 'honor and shame'? They can laugh off Grandpa's big teeth..."

That's all for the previous sentence, but when he heard "rebellious officials and thieves", Pei Sui's face turned red, but he didn't know how to refute.

Just because of this sentence, he scolded Xiao Yan without restraint after drinking.

"That's all... Let me say one more word to you and other shameless people, they are all lips without grandpa's teeth... Tricky!"

"The general is here!"

"Choose a capable general, go on the road overnight, and escort him to the capital!"

"promise!"

While giving the order, Li Chengzhi walked out.Pei Sui's eyes immediately became anxious, and he shouted sharply, "Li Chengzhi, how did you know that I scolded the emperor at the Temple of Emperor Wu of Wei, and how did you know that Jing Junnan was attached only to avenge his father?"

It turned out that he was so eager that he smashed his head, because of this?
If you ask me kindly, I might even make up a sentence to fool me.But you insist on playing the game of aggressive generals, saying that I have no shame in admitting that a thief is my father?
I don't want you to die in peace...

Li Chengzhi gritted his teeth: "Guess?"

Then he laughed and walked away.

Pei Sui's eyes were about to split open: "Li Chengzhi, you're going to die..."

"Slap your mouth... If you dare to speak without words, you will smash all the teeth in your mouth. If you still dare to curse, you will cut off your tongue..."

Like a crowing rooster being strangled, Pei Sui's scolding stopped abruptly.

The number will follow, out of the side room.Yang Jun was full of embarrassment, looked at Li Chengzhi's back, and asked in a low voice: "Such a big victory, he should be elated, but why is he so angry?"

Li Shao sighed in disappointment, and intentionally missed the next step: "It should be you and I who coaxed the tricksters, and then lost [-] troops, which made him very dissatisfied..."

More than dissatisfaction?

Li Shao could clearly feel that Li Chengzhi wished he could kill with a knife...
